No-Bake Cheesecakes:
No-bake cheesecakes are an easy and delicious way to celebrate any holiday, birthday, or regular 'ol Tuesday night. They are so easy to make, only take a few minutes to make, and can be made ahead of time too.
There are a few no-bake cheesecakes that should be noted here. If you haven't veered out of the normal or classic No-Bake Vanilla cheesecake, you're missing out. This No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake is outstanding and this No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake is a fall and winter favorite.
This chocolate cheesecake is a favorite too. It is a creamy chocolate mousse cheesecake recipe, no-bake, baby! We love drizzling a little Hershey syrup and a dollop of whipping cream on top, talk about decadent!
If No-Bake Cheesecakes are your thing, there are a couple more you've gotta try. This Easy Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust Pie or Nilla Wafers Recipe is a favorite around the holidays, and this Nutella Cheesecake is perfect for your Nutella Lovers. And of course, you can't go wrong with a classic No-bake Cheesecake and even try it with this Homemade Crust. There are so many great variations to try.
Ingredients In No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake:
- Cream Cheese- You can use the full-fat or the part-skim version. The full-fat cream cheese has a little smoother texture and more of a deep flavor.
- Powdered Sugar- This works great to sweeten the cheesecake without weighing it down.
- Whipping Cream- Heavy whipping cream works great in this recipe. When mixed with the cream cheese, it makes for a mousse-like texture.
- Cocoa Powder- This is what adds that lovely rich chocolate flavor.
- Vanilla-The recipe is great with a splash of real vanilla extract, but it'll taste great without it too.
